Takes one to know one

So now I’m being called a perv in my comments, of all things. Of course I’m somehow flattered, in a pervy way, on the one hand, but on the other I’ve always considered myself more of a lech than a perv.

My question to you today: what’s the difference between a lech and a perv?

    Hopefully we will return to regular programming shortly.

  1. I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

    One thought: Lech is gender-specific (m.). Perves can be m. or f. (I, a 23 yr old f., can still easily be a perv.)

    Second thought: Lech also has older-man-looking-at-children connotations.

  3. A lech makes me retch, but a perv makes me swerve?
    I’m sorry. I got nothin’.

  4. a lech is icky, sticky, and ulgy.
    a perv is well, weird, not always ulgy though…

  5. A lech is a lecher: “Man with strong sexual desires” in my dictionary.

    A perv is a pervert: “A person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable especially in sexual behavior” (same dictionary).

    But my comments are always rejected by your blog. Why?

  6. It worked!

    Maybe it’s the preview (not perview) that fails?

  7. Also, lech implies (to me, anyway) a guy older than the target of his lechery. The proverbial dirty old man.

    And then there’s Lech Walesa.

  8. A lech makes me retch, but a perv makes me swerve…
    Oh, Solonor so totally wins.
    I think that’s gonna be my new email sig.

    ok, perv = good, lech = bad.

    eeksy, you’re right, it’s the preview thing’s fault. I don’t know how to fix it, though.

    also, my Site Meter counter has been acting up lately, but only at this site – the ones for the Shoe Project and Raising Hell both seem to be working fine…

    Would it ruin your carefully garnered reputation if I said I found you neither lech nor perv? :)
